[Fate Chooses You]

2
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,690
[Episode 7]

3
00:02:33,190 --> 00:02:33,990
Sweet, right?

4
00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:38,310
Sour as hell.

5
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,750
It's sweet.

6
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,590
It's because there's bitterness
in your heart.

7
00:02:49,590 --> 00:02:51,320
Everything tastes sour to you.

8
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,000
Tell me.

9
00:02:55,470 --> 00:02:57,070
How did you and Lu meet?

10
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,080
Wanna hear?

11
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,360
Twenty taels.

12
00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:09,590
Here's 50.

13
00:03:09,710 --> 00:03:10,640
Keep the change.

14
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,150
I meant gold.

15
00:03:20,750 --> 00:03:21,520
Fine.

16
00:03:22,910 --> 00:03:24,560
It's a slow day anyway,

17
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,630
and I have nothing pressing.

18
00:03:27,570 --> 00:03:28,850
I'll tell you about it.

19
00:03:32,820 --> 00:03:33,790
He and I...

20
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,240
met 11 years ago.

21
00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:41,560
That was the first time
we ever saw each other.

22
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,060
Thank you for sending me home, Mr. Fu.

23
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,170
You're too polite, sir.

24
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,840
It's an honor for the Li household

25
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:48,870
to have you personally instruct

26
00:03:48,870 --> 00:03:50,530
our young master in painting.

27
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,120
That day,

28
00:03:53,630 --> 00:03:54,470
I wore my

29
00:03:54,470 --> 00:03:55,590
prettiest dress.

30
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,290
Unfortunately, I fell.

31
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,360
My dress got dirty,
and my face got smudged.

32
00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:03,240
I must've looked awful.

33
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:09,570
Are you okay?

34
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,360
But...

35
00:04:13,430 --> 00:04:14,630
he didn't mind,

36
00:04:15,710 --> 00:04:17,310
and he even escorted me home.

37
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,120
Only later did I learn

38
00:04:21,269 --> 00:04:23,070
he was my new neighbor.

39
00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:27,310
He was a painter

40
00:04:28,190 --> 00:04:29,520
with excellent skills.

41
00:04:30,630 --> 00:04:31,830
People said

42
00:04:32,110 --> 00:04:33,600
he was a man of great learning—

43
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:34,870
no ordinary person.

44
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,310
He hardly ate—

45
00:04:42,870 --> 00:04:45,330
sometimes not even a single meal
in two days.

46
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,480
He was so thin
you could see his bones sticking out.

47
00:04:48,750 --> 00:04:49,600
Seeing that,

48
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:52,360
I would often bring him food.

49
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,830
But as time passed,

50
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:56,310
my feelings

51
00:04:57,310 --> 00:04:59,360
for him slowly faded,

52
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,500
and I saw him less and less.

53
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,580
That was the sensible thing to do.

54
00:05:08,270 --> 00:05:09,470
But half a year later,

55
00:05:11,190 --> 00:05:13,800
a catastrophe

56
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,280
fell upon our escort agency.

57
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,270
An escort agency deals in
trade and transport.

58
00:05:20,270 --> 00:05:21,720
so paying taxes to the government

59
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:22,650
is only natural.

60
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:24,480
But that year,

61
00:05:25,270 --> 00:05:27,710
the taxes had become outrageously high.

62
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,070
My father said

63
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,330
it was the Immortality Tax.

64
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,920
Those in power sought eternal life,

65
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,330
and naturally, that required resources.

66
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,120
But they seized

67
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,720
those resources from the hands

68
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,120
of common people like us.

69
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,190
At first,

70
00:05:44,870 --> 00:05:45,950
the Immortality Tax

71
00:05:45,950 --> 00:05:47,810
was only collected in Dongxiang.

72
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,920
But the cost must've been too great.

73
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,170
The tax was extended to other regions.

74
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,000
And our escort agency

75
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,440
was drawn into its reach.

76
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,330
For a living, my father

77
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,800
planned to move the whole family back
to our hometown.

78
00:06:05,190 --> 00:06:06,020
But they...

79
00:06:07,820 --> 00:06:09,430
wouldn't let us go.

80
00:06:14,950 --> 00:06:15,740
Father!

81
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:42,270
I thought I was done for,

82
00:06:43,870 --> 00:06:45,110
but he appeared.

83
00:06:47,290 --> 00:06:48,880
I've practiced martial arts
since I was young.

84
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:49,870
I started practicing with a sword

85
00:06:49,870 --> 00:06:51,130
as soon as I could walk.

86
00:06:51,950 --> 00:06:52,830
Yet he killed those men

87
00:06:52,830 --> 00:06:54,830
in a single move—men I couldn't beat

88
00:06:54,830 --> 00:06:56,360
even with everything I had.

89
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,600
I didn't even see

90
00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:59,510
how he did it.

91
00:07:00,630 --> 00:07:02,270
From that moment on, I knew

92
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:04,220
he was no mortal.

93
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:11,720
And then what happened?

94
00:07:12,810 --> 00:07:13,610
Then...

95
00:07:15,390 --> 00:07:16,440
he left.

96
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:18,950
And never came back.

97
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,040
Those masked men died.

98
00:07:23,070 --> 00:07:23,950
But I knew

99
00:07:24,630 --> 00:07:26,230
my enemy was still out there—

100
00:07:27,310 --> 00:07:28,950
the county magistrate.

101
00:07:30,430 --> 00:07:31,890
He had embezzled tax money

102
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,970
and couldn't cover the shortfall,

103
00:07:34,430 --> 00:07:37,159
so he turned to plundering
the common people's wealth.

104
00:07:37,159 --> 00:07:39,690
He had his men
disguise themselves as bandits

105
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,440
and rob people of
their money and property.

106
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:52,270
After that night,

107
00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:56,040
all that remained of my household

108
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,750
was me, a young attendant,

109
00:07:59,070 --> 00:08:00,190
and a stable hand.

110
00:08:03,190 --> 00:08:05,870
They're the attendant and the cook now.

111
00:08:07,070 --> 00:08:09,530
Fearing our enemy
would come after us again,

112
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:10,830
we left.

113
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:12,510
Then,

114
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:14,560
we found

115
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,560
a secluded valley

116
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,360
and devoted ourselves to martial arts.

117
00:08:18,750 --> 00:08:19,560
We trained

118
00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:22,950
for five years.

119
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,360
Five years later,

120
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,260
we came back after mastering the skills.

121
00:08:29,630 --> 00:08:32,159
We tracked down our enemy
and had our revenge.

122
00:08:32,390 --> 00:08:33,990
After that, we left for good.

123
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Then you came here

124
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,020
and opened the Safe Haven Inn?

125
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,930
[Safe Haven Inn:
Your Safety is Guaranteed.

126
00:08:52,390 --> 00:08:53,920
Got to make a living, right?

127
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,200
Actually,

128
00:08:58,270 --> 00:09:00,130
I never thought I'd see him again.

129
00:09:01,670 --> 00:09:02,440
I know

130
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,550
he's no ordinary man.

131
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:09,120
He might be a cultivator,

132
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,960
or perhaps an immortal of the Youhu Clan.

133
00:09:14,030 --> 00:09:15,120
Or maybe...

134
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,650
It doesn't matter anymore.

135
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,660
I know we belong to different worlds.

136
00:09:27,150 --> 00:09:29,030
We were never meant to be.

137
00:09:35,870 --> 00:09:37,470
The girl upstairs in the room

138
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,140
is the one he loves, isn't she?

139
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:43,770
What makes you say that?

140
00:09:45,790 --> 00:09:47,670
When he carried her in just now,

141
00:09:48,150 --> 00:09:49,440
he looked so tense.

142
00:09:50,270 --> 00:09:51,270
In his eyes,

143
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,520
there was tenderness

144
00:09:53,670 --> 00:09:54,750
and heartache.

145
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:58,600
We were acquainted.

146
00:09:59,750 --> 00:10:01,670
Everyone at the escort agency was

147
00:10:01,790 --> 00:10:03,520
quite kind to him as a neighbor.

148
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,440
But even when my whole family
was slaughtered,

149
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,240
I never saw that look in his eyes.

150
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,000
Perhaps.

151
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,780
He probably does like her.

152
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,320
It's a pity

153
00:10:24,750 --> 00:10:26,350
they're also not meant to be.

154
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:16,050
She's drunk.

155
00:11:17,150 --> 00:11:18,340
She wanted to drink it herself.

156
00:11:18,340 --> 00:11:19,400
I didn't force her.

157
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,320
She didn't even drink that much.

158
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,050
Who knew she'd end up like this?

159
00:11:27,150 --> 00:11:28,750
The attendant's gone to
make her some hangover soup.

160
00:11:28,750 --> 00:11:29,910
Once we get it into her,

161
00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:30,970
she should wake up.

162
00:11:33,790 --> 00:11:35,250
But it's understandable.

163
00:11:35,270 --> 00:11:38,030
Years of buried heartbreak
crashing down all at once—

164
00:11:38,030 --> 00:11:39,240
that's no joke.

165
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:41,360
Did you know

166
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,080
she hasn't married all these years

167
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,480
because she still
carries you in her heart?

168
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:49,500
Look at you.

169
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,930
See how much damage you've caused.

170
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:53,680
Oh, right,

171
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:55,870
how is Xin upstairs?

172
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,720
I've already fed her the blood.

173
00:11:58,720 --> 00:11:59,850
She'll be fine soon.

174
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:03,960
Your blood

175
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,170
is a divine remedy for healing.

176
00:12:06,550 --> 00:12:08,080
But have you thought about this?

177
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,240
What are you going to do

178
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,240
when she wakes up?

179
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,150
She thought you were dead

180
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:15,960
and risked her life to save you.

181
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,670
Now here you are, perfectly fine.

182
00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:18,630
Even a fool

183
00:12:18,750 --> 00:12:20,350
would know something's off.

184
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:21,300
Not to mention,

185
00:12:21,550 --> 00:12:23,270
she saw your face last night.

186
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,530
Why don't you just run away?

187
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:30,630
Run away?

188
00:12:32,790 --> 00:12:33,360
Yes!

189
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:34,720
Run.

190
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,410
Clean and simple.

191
00:12:37,790 --> 00:12:39,390
No one will ever find you.

192
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:42,030
Please, enjoy, sirs.

193
00:12:42,030 --> 00:12:43,360
-I'll take her back first.
-You ungrateful thing...

194
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,200
Okay, okay.

195
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,720
You heartless wretch...

196
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,240
They say a good drink
can wash away all sorrow.

197
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,170
It works for her.

198
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:56,780
And it'll work for you too.

199
00:13:20,790 --> 00:13:21,910
His Majesty has decreed

200
00:13:21,910 --> 00:13:23,750
Liang Wenjing, Minister of
the Court of Judicial Review,

201
00:13:23,750 --> 00:13:24,840
has abused his power for personal gain

202
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,200
and framed loyal officials.

203
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,360
The Liang family is hereby sentenced to
confiscation of property and clan extermination.

204
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,510
His eldest son, Liang Quan,
and second son, Liang Zhong,

205
00:13:30,510 --> 00:13:31,910
have both been captured
and put in the imperial prison.

206
00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:33,240
Anyone who dares obstruct

207
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,170
will be punished as an accomplice!

208
00:13:36,270 --> 00:13:36,730
My Lord,

209
00:13:36,750 --> 00:13:37,770
we wouldn't dare! We wouldn't dare!

210
00:13:37,770 --> 00:13:38,200
Search!

211
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,130
Please spare us!

212
00:13:49,940 --> 00:13:52,920
[Foot of Tianyin Mountain]

213
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,160
Your face is injured.

214
00:14:15,510 --> 00:14:16,710
Bandage it with that.

215
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,860
Something happened outside?

216
00:14:48,910 --> 00:14:50,840
Likely to do with the Liang household.

217
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,370
It has nothing to do with us.

218
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,050
How are you feeling?

219
00:14:56,270 --> 00:14:57,530
Do you still feel weak?

220
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,670
His palm strike was very powerful.

221
00:14:59,670 --> 00:15:01,130
My Qihai has been damaged.

222
00:15:01,390 --> 00:15:03,850
I'm afraid it will take some time
to recover.

223
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:04,780
Senior Jin,

224
00:15:05,310 --> 00:15:06,030
could you please fetch me

225
00:15:06,030 --> 00:15:07,360
another Yangyuan Pill?

226
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,270
That master's techniques
were extraordinary

227
00:15:31,270 --> 00:15:31,960
and didn't look like

228
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,960
any of the Twelve Immortal Sects' arts.

229
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,000
Senior Jin, you've traveled
the martial world—

230
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,720
have you ever heard of him?

231
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,800
All things come full circle.

232
00:15:41,910 --> 00:15:43,240
However the road winds,

233
00:15:43,870 --> 00:15:45,330
we are bound to meet again.

234
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,120
What's wrong?

235
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,970
It's the court's soldiers.

236
00:15:54,060 --> 00:15:54,960
Who knows

237
00:15:55,150 --> 00:15:57,150
what has come over Emperor Zong Din?

238
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,150
He suddenly wants to reverse the verdict

239
00:15:58,150 --> 00:15:59,840
against that female cultivator's husband.

240
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,790
The entire Liang household
has been arrested,

241
00:16:01,790 --> 00:16:03,480
sentenced to extermination,
and had all their property confiscated.

242
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:04,680
Reverse the verdict?

243
00:16:06,270 --> 00:16:06,840
Yes.

244
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,840
They've also sent people to find us,

245
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:10,840
claiming that the female cultivator

246
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:11,770
was sent by them.

247
00:16:12,270 --> 00:16:13,480
Killing those four officials

248
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,790
was also the Emperor's order.

249
00:16:14,790 --> 00:16:15,270
They say it doesn't count as

250
00:16:15,270 --> 00:16:17,200
the immortal sects
interfering in mortal affairs.

251
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,860
and that we needn't
concern ourselves further.

252
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:20,600
That day, it was they

253
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:21,930
who begged for our help.

254
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,860
Now they come up with this excuse.

255
00:16:24,140 --> 00:16:24,840
We're left in a position

256
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,970
where neither side is pleased with us.

257
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:29,900
Someone is coming.

258
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,400
Senior Bai is coming.

259
00:16:41,630 --> 00:16:42,320
Senior Bai.

260
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,260
Please forgive me.

261
00:16:44,330 --> 00:16:46,730
[Bai Zongying, Tianyuan Sect]

262
00:16:44,630 --> 00:16:45,440
I'm late.

263
00:17:11,829 --> 00:17:12,640
You're awake.

264
00:17:15,750 --> 00:17:16,510
You should've called for someone

265
00:17:16,510 --> 00:17:17,640
if you wanted water.

266
00:17:18,349 --> 00:17:20,240
How are you feeling now?

267
00:17:20,349 --> 00:17:21,109
Are you hungry?

268
00:17:21,109 --> 00:17:22,910
Would you like something to eat?

269
00:17:55,030 --> 00:17:56,290
You don't need my help?

270
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:57,920
You two, talk it out calmly.

271
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,120
I'll be right here...

272
00:18:09,070 --> 00:18:09,640
Xin.

273
00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:10,750
Weren't you dead?

274
00:18:11,110 --> 00:18:12,510
Apparently not dead enough.

275
00:18:12,510 --> 00:18:13,970
Then let me finish the job!

276
00:18:22,830 --> 00:18:23,720
Calm down!

277
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,400
Either you kill me today,

278
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:27,590
or I kill you!

279
00:18:27,750 --> 00:18:29,070
This was all my fault.

280
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,920
Punish me however you like.

281
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,270
But let me explain first.

282
00:18:32,270 --> 00:18:33,790
Explain it in hell!

283
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,510
That girl has just recovered
from her injuries.

284
00:18:39,510 --> 00:18:40,160
Go to hell!

285
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,300
Aren't you going to do something?

286
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,410
Even if I wanted to, I couldn't.

287
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,400
What kind of grudge is this, seriously?

288
00:18:52,110 --> 00:18:53,790
Let them solve it themselves.

289
00:19:08,750 --> 00:19:09,880
Still want to fight?

290
00:19:10,350 --> 00:19:10,960
Fine.

291
00:19:12,030 --> 00:19:13,110
Since I can't move,

292
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,260
I'll listen to your explanation.

293
00:19:15,830 --> 00:19:17,090
The day I was executed—

294
00:19:17,350 --> 00:19:19,210
death by 1,000 cuts—I didn't die.

295
00:19:19,270 --> 00:19:21,240
That's not where you should start, is it,

296
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:21,880
Mr. Lu?

297
00:19:22,830 --> 00:19:23,690
In the capital,

298
00:19:24,110 --> 00:19:26,110
the one who saved me secretly
time and again

299
00:19:26,110 --> 00:19:26,840
was also you.

300
00:19:27,550 --> 00:19:29,110
Since you have such abilities,

301
00:19:29,110 --> 00:19:31,350
why did you allow yourself
to be imprisoned?

302
00:19:31,350 --> 00:19:33,440
Why did you submit to arrest
without a fight

303
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,170
and suffer death by 1,000 cuts?

304
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:36,830
I...

305
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,370
have my reasons.

306
00:19:38,750 --> 00:19:39,680
"Reasons"?

307
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:42,720
Fine.

308
00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:44,550
Then answer me this—

309
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,200
you knew full well you wouldn't die,

310
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,310
so why did you marry me?

311
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,760
Why did you say those things to me—

312
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,560
to make me believe you would die,

313
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,060
to leave me carrying that burden,

314
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,920
to fill me with resentment on your behalf,

315
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,480
and even drive me to seek revenge for you?

316
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,160
I didn't expect that you'd go that far.

317
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,720
"Didn't expect?"

318
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,480
You possess extraordinary skills,

319
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,480
yet you allowed others to frame

320
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:10,340
and punish you,

321
00:20:10,510 --> 00:20:12,350
subjected yourself to a cruel punishment,

322
00:20:12,350 --> 00:20:14,280
and made onlookers pity your fate!

323
00:20:14,750 --> 00:20:16,210
You knew you wouldn't die,

324
00:20:16,510 --> 00:20:18,240
yet you still chose to marry me—

325
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:19,830
and asked me to burn incense

326
00:20:19,830 --> 00:20:21,550
and make offerings for you
after your death.

327
00:20:21,550 --> 00:20:23,480
What exactly were you trying to do?

328
00:20:23,740 --> 00:20:25,070
Were you toying with me?

329
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,290
You said you'd explain,

330
00:20:29,830 --> 00:20:31,110
so explain it to me.

331
00:20:32,110 --> 00:20:33,400
I really want to know:

332
00:20:33,590 --> 00:20:34,830
when I risked my life—

333
00:20:35,550 --> 00:20:36,750
using my meager magic

334
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,260
to seek justice for you

335
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,590
and avenge you—

336
00:20:40,510 --> 00:20:42,240
what were you really thinking?

337
00:20:43,110 --> 00:20:44,570
Did you find it laughable?

338
00:20:44,750 --> 00:20:46,810
Or did you think I was a complete fool?

339
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:47,780
I was grateful.

340
00:20:49,030 --> 00:20:49,790
Xin,

341
00:20:50,590 --> 00:20:52,050
I'm truly grateful to you.

342
00:20:52,970 --> 00:20:54,280
But I do have reasons

343
00:20:54,310 --> 00:20:55,510
I cannot tell anyone.

344
00:20:56,030 --> 00:20:57,830
They concern my life and safety.

345
00:20:58,270 --> 00:20:59,530
But please believe me,

346
00:21:00,030 --> 00:21:02,290
I never had any intention of harming you.

347
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,800
Get some good rest first.

348
00:21:21,510 --> 00:21:23,710
If that resentment still hasn't faded,

349
00:21:24,350 --> 00:21:25,750
come find me in the lobby.

350
00:22:51,270 --> 00:22:53,310
Do not fight with anyone
for the next few days.

351
00:22:53,310 --> 00:22:54,000
Rest,

352
00:22:54,590 --> 00:22:55,640
and you will recover.

353
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:56,900
Thank you, Senior Bai.

354
00:22:57,170 --> 00:22:58,200
I thought the Tianyuan Sect

355
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,530
wasn't planning to send anyone this time.

356
00:23:01,350 --> 00:23:01,920
All the major immortal sects

357
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,270
received letters from the court.

358
00:23:03,270 --> 00:23:05,070
Why wouldn't our Tianyuan Sect come?

359
00:23:05,070 --> 00:23:05,720
It's just that I

360
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,240
was delayed by some matters,

361
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,240
so I arrived late.

362
00:23:08,270 --> 00:23:09,800
If you had arrived earlier,

363
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:11,760
we definitely could've detained
that female cultivator,

364
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:12,550
and we wouldn't have

365
00:23:12,550 --> 00:23:14,280
ended up looking so miserable.

366
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,240
With the cultivation levels
of everyone present,

367
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:21,920
how could you fail to even detain

368
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,070
a female cultivator
in the Qi Refining Stage?

369
00:23:24,070 --> 00:23:24,790
And earlier, the court

370
00:23:24,790 --> 00:23:25,510
urgently

371
00:23:25,510 --> 00:23:26,510
summoned us here,

372
00:23:26,610 --> 00:23:27,680
yet now they claim
that the female cultivator

373
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,810
is their operative.

374
00:23:30,170 --> 00:23:31,570
What exactly is going on?

375
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,330
That's the full account of events.

376
00:23:38,550 --> 00:23:39,350
You're saying

377
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,350
the magical artifact she used
is similar to mine?

378
00:23:42,350 --> 00:23:42,830
Yes.

379
00:23:43,510 --> 00:23:45,540
She usually uses a crescent-shaped blade.

380
00:23:45,540 --> 00:23:46,880
When controlled by spiritual energy,

381
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:47,640
it transforms into

382
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,070
something like concentrated moonlight—

383
00:23:49,070 --> 00:23:50,330
exceptionally sharp.

384
00:23:50,550 --> 00:23:51,160
The first time

385
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,160
we faced her,

386
00:23:52,350 --> 00:23:53,830
her artifact emitted
only one arc of light.

387
00:23:53,830 --> 00:23:55,110
The second time,

388
00:23:56,310 --> 00:23:57,240
there were two.

389
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,550
That means her cultivation has advanced.

390
00:23:59,550 --> 00:24:01,310
She's broken through from
the Qi Refining Stage

391
00:24:01,310 --> 00:24:02,680
to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

392
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,080
Mr. Bai, do you know
the female cultivator?

393
00:24:05,150 --> 00:24:06,400
I can't say for certain.

394
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,070
Whether you're certain or not
hardly matters now.

395
00:24:08,070 --> 00:24:09,960
The court has ordered us to stand down.

396
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,560
I'm heading back to the sect.

397
00:24:12,350 --> 00:24:13,830
The Immortality Pill is about to
be completed.

398
00:24:13,830 --> 00:24:16,160
Is your sect not going to
attend the event?

399
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,060
The elders of our sect will go.

400
00:24:18,550 --> 00:24:20,280
Why am I even bothering to join?

401
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:21,740
What about you?

402
00:24:21,750 --> 00:24:23,510
I still have some personal matters
to attend to.

403
00:24:23,510 --> 00:24:25,040
I'll head there afterward.

404
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,060
Our sect will not be involved
in the event,

405
00:24:27,060 --> 00:24:28,520
so I won't be going either.

406
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:29,520
All right.

407
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,640
I'll take my leave first.

408
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:33,300
The court

409
00:24:33,300 --> 00:24:34,920
summoned us here to address this matter.

410
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,160
Since they've chosen not to pursue it,

411
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,270
there's no reason for us to keep pressing.

412
00:24:38,270 --> 00:24:40,790
As for that female cultivator,
she's nothing to fear.

413
00:24:40,790 --> 00:24:41,790
But the male cultivator by her side

414
00:24:41,790 --> 00:24:43,440
has unfathomable cultivation.

415
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:44,640
Provoking him rashly

416
00:24:45,110 --> 00:24:46,310
might bring trouble.

417
00:24:49,550 --> 00:24:50,150
Farewell.

418
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:51,810
I'll see you out.

419
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,020
You're heading back to your sect?

420
00:24:58,640 --> 00:24:59,300
Where else?

421
00:24:59,750 --> 00:25:01,210
We messed this up so badly,

422
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,110
and we don't even know their names.

423
00:25:03,110 --> 00:25:05,110
We're just going to leave it at that?

424
00:25:06,070 --> 00:25:07,000
What do you want?

425
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,700
Naturally, we can't simply
leave it at that.

426
00:25:11,790 --> 00:25:12,590
Senior Bai,

427
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,310
that night, I saw

428
00:25:14,650 --> 00:25:15,310
Junior Jiang wound

429
00:25:15,310 --> 00:25:17,110
that male cultivator with her sword,

430
00:25:17,110 --> 00:25:18,510
but in the blink of an eye,

431
00:25:18,590 --> 00:25:20,440
his wound healed completely.

432
00:25:21,070 --> 00:25:22,930
Don't you find that a bit strange?

433
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,350
Healed in an instant?

434
00:25:26,590 --> 00:25:27,590
That's what I saw.

435
00:25:28,270 --> 00:25:29,440
But Junior Jiang's Chengying Sword

436
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:30,700
is no ordinary weapon.

437
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,030
Even a Nascent Soul cultivator

438
00:25:32,030 --> 00:25:32,960
couldn't heal immediately

439
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:33,880
after being injured

440
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:34,830
by it.

441
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,140
What are you thinking?

442
00:25:37,270 --> 00:25:38,670
Maybe I'm just ignorant,

443
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,240
but for a being
with such regenerative ability,

444
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,240
I can only think of one possibility:

445
00:25:44,030 --> 00:25:44,720
a War Demon.

446
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:48,640
A War Demon...

447
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:54,940
Come on, have some tea.

448
00:26:11,590 --> 00:26:12,460
Xin,

449
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,310
-actually, I…
-I've thought it through.

450
00:26:15,310 --> 00:26:16,230
It was my fault.

451
00:26:18,030 --> 00:26:19,830
When I joined the immortal sect,

452
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,590
my master made me swear

453
00:26:22,550 --> 00:26:23,510
to never use magic

454
00:26:23,510 --> 00:26:25,310
to interfere in mortal affairs.

455
00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:26,680
I was too stupid.

456
00:26:27,270 --> 00:26:28,930
I could never make sense of it.

457
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,160
I always thought that

458
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,790
since I was fortunate enough
to learn the immortal magic,

459
00:26:32,790 --> 00:26:33,990
I should put it to use.

460
00:26:34,110 --> 00:26:35,840
Otherwise, it would be a waste.

461
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,440
But there is too much injustice
in this world.

462
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,370
The court can't reach everywhere.

463
00:26:40,590 --> 00:26:42,000
If I happen to encounter injustice

464
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,440
and have the power to intervene,

465
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,480
why shouldn't I?

466
00:26:45,790 --> 00:26:46,640
So...

467
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:49,590
I made mistakes.

468
00:26:50,830 --> 00:26:52,160
Many times over.

469
00:26:57,310 --> 00:26:58,070
In the past,

470
00:26:58,640 --> 00:26:59,770
I refused to repent.

471
00:27:00,650 --> 00:27:01,960
I thought it was the rules
that were wrong—

472
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:02,640
not me.

473
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:04,790
But this time,

474
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,380
I've finally understood.

475
00:27:08,110 --> 00:27:09,750
In this world, there are immortals

476
00:27:09,750 --> 00:27:10,750
and cultivators.

477
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:12,830
There are also countless

478
00:27:12,830 --> 00:27:14,030
demons and monsters.

479
00:27:14,310 --> 00:27:15,330
People are hard to read,

480
00:27:15,330 --> 00:27:16,830
and life is unpredictable.

481
00:27:16,830 --> 00:27:18,890
Magic can easily disguise the truth—

482
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:20,550
how can mortal eyes

483
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,480
tell what is real from what is false?

484
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,090
Act, and you risk making mistakes.

485
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,930
Do nothing, and you cannot err.

486
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:30,510
That's why my master

487
00:27:30,510 --> 00:27:32,310
told me to stay within my bounds.

488
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:35,680
I didn't

489
00:27:36,070 --> 00:27:37,200
think that through.

490
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,520
I didn't consider your feelings

491
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,080
and ended up hurting you.

492
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,030
We met by chance

493
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,110
and should've just helped each other
and gone our separate ways.

494
00:27:47,110 --> 00:27:48,310
I overstepped

495
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:49,880
and threw myself into it,

496
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,140
stirring things up even more.

497
00:27:54,590 --> 00:27:55,310
Xin...

498
00:27:55,340 --> 00:27:56,070
I know

499
00:27:56,790 --> 00:27:58,050
you have your reasons.

500
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,310
I'm the one who meddled.

501
00:28:01,030 --> 00:28:02,030
I broke the rules,

502
00:28:02,830 --> 00:28:04,230
so I should pay the price.

503
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:07,770
Now I see it clearly.

504
00:28:09,550 --> 00:28:10,270
Lu Huai.

505
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,340
I should just call you Lu Huai.

506
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,570
Thank you for teaching me this lesson.

507
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,330
I won't do it ever again.

508
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,250

Go where?

539

to erase her memories of this time—

541
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,270
make her forget me.

542

Attendant.

546
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:22,900
I'd like to ask you something.

547
00:30:23,610 --> 00:30:24,400
Please go ahead, Miss.

548
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,200
A few days ago,

549
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,120
I heard a female cultivator had
entered the capital and killed people,

550
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,380
causing a huge uproar.

551
00:30:28,550 --> 00:30:30,350
Do you know how it all turned out?

552
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:31,240
That matter?

553
00:30:31,350 --> 00:30:32,640
That matter has already been resolved.

554
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:33,510
His Majesty issued a decree

555
00:30:33,510 --> 00:30:34,640
stating
that the female cultivator's husband

556
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:35,720
had been wrongfully convicted,

557
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:36,590
so the case was dropped

558
00:30:36,590 --> 00:30:37,750
and was no longer being pursued.

559
00:30:37,750 --> 00:30:39,160
Several ministers involved

560
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,560
were also investigated.

561
00:30:40,750 --> 00:30:42,110
Where is that female cultivator?

562
00:30:42,110 --> 00:30:43,640
That I don't know.

563
00:30:47,550 --> 00:30:48,480
Take care, Miss.

564
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,100
Go find Senior.

565
00:31:36,620 --> 00:31:40,150
How did I break through to
the Foundation Establishment Stage?

566
00:31:51,070 --> 00:31:52,330
I should go to the back.

567
00:31:52,530 --> 00:31:53,850
The cook might need me.

568
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,540
Stop right there. Don't move.

569
00:31:57,270 --> 00:31:58,030
Excuse me,

570
00:31:58,590 --> 00:31:59,720
where is this place?

571
00:32:08,790 --> 00:32:09,400
Enjoy.

572
00:32:12,350 --> 00:32:13,440
A few days ago,

573
00:32:13,550 --> 00:32:15,680
there was heavy rain in the mountains.

574
00:32:15,750 --> 00:32:17,000
When I was passing by,

575
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,480
I found you unconscious in the rain,

576
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:20,920
so I brought you back.

577
00:32:21,950 --> 00:32:22,950
You've been sick

578
00:32:23,270 --> 00:32:24,550
for more than 10 days,

579
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,480
delirious with fever.

580
00:32:27,070 --> 00:32:28,270
It wasn't until today

581
00:32:28,270 --> 00:32:30,470
that you finally woke up clear-headed.

582
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,400
Why would I have collapsed
in the mountains?

583
00:32:35,310 --> 00:32:37,680
I'm not so sure about that.

584
00:32:39,270 --> 00:32:41,830
Why don't you try to think back carefully?

585
00:32:48,750 --> 00:32:51,680
I remember I went down the mountain
for some business

586
00:32:51,810 --> 00:32:53,470
and visited my aunt on the way.

587
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,490
But my aunt passed away.

588
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,550
I arranged her funeral,

589
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,400
left Wei County,

590
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,000
and then continued my journey

591
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,260
to handle my business.

592
00:33:02,590 --> 00:33:05,000
And then I passed through here.

593
00:33:05,750 --> 00:33:07,350
I was overwhelmed with grief

594
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:08,980
and caught in the rain,

595
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,400
so I fell ill?

596
00:33:11,550 --> 00:33:11,950
Right.

597
00:33:12,310 --> 00:33:13,270
That must be it.

598
00:33:13,750 --> 00:33:15,480
That's exactly what happened.

599
00:33:17,790 --> 00:33:18,790
That's not right.

600
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:19,680
I was sick,

601
00:33:20,030 --> 00:33:22,160
but why did my cultivation level improve?

602
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,880
I wouldn't know about that.

603
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,660
The affairs of you cultivators

604
00:33:25,660 --> 00:33:26,790
are so mysterious.

605
00:33:27,030 --> 00:33:28,490
I can't make sense of them.

606
00:33:31,110 --> 00:33:32,440
Thank you for saving me.

607
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:33,890
You're welcome.

608
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,030
I'm glad you're alright.

609
00:33:35,030 --> 00:33:36,430
That's all that matters.

610
00:33:36,510 --> 00:33:39,040
Here, have some ginger
and brown sugar water.

611
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:48,920
Come on, hurry up!

612
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:52,880
Hurry up and load the goods!

613
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:53,480
Sir,

614
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,240
once this job is done,
you'll be rich, right?

615
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:56,270
When you get back,
you'll finally be able to take a wife, eh?

616
00:33:56,270 --> 00:33:56,930
Sure thing.

617
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:57,790
If you happen to know
any suitable young ladies,

618
00:33:57,790 --> 00:33:59,000
remember to introduce them to me.

619
00:33:59,000 --> 00:33:59,440
Okay.

620
00:33:59,790 --> 00:34:00,440
Father.

621
00:34:00,790 --> 00:34:01,830
My bamboo dragonfly...

622
00:34:01,830 --> 00:34:03,560
My bamboo dragonfly flew away.

623
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,290
Hold on. I'll get it.

624
00:34:17,710 --> 00:34:18,760
Excuse me, please step aside.

625
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,889
You're standing on something of mine.

626
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,290
You need to go to the Central Plains

627
00:34:26,590 --> 00:34:27,440
to find a woman

628
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,010
and pass along a message to her.

629
00:34:30,510 --> 00:34:31,440
Yes.

630
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:33,989
The goods are all loaded.

631
00:34:33,989 --> 00:34:35,600
We can depart anytime.

632
00:34:35,630 --> 00:34:36,280
Okay.

633
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:39,820
Who is our boss talking to?

634
00:34:40,030 --> 00:34:42,690
Judging by the clothes,
looks like a big client.

635
00:34:48,510 --> 00:34:48,920
Boss?

636
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:49,429
Sir!

637
00:34:49,580 --> 00:34:50,150
Where are you going?

638
00:34:50,150 --> 00:34:50,920
What are you heading off to do?

639
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:51,320
Boss!

640
00:34:57,070 --> 00:34:58,470
What are your plans next?

641
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,530
The Immortality Pill is nearly ready.

642
00:35:03,070 --> 00:35:04,320
I came down the mountain this time

643
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,880
to attend the Pill-Tasting Competition
at Chongling Valley,

644
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,410
to request an Immortality Pill
for my master.

645
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:13,880
It's probably for the best that she left.

646
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,000
You two were never
on the same path anyway.

647
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:16,920
What a pity, though.

648
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:17,880
Such a good girl—

649
00:35:18,070 --> 00:35:20,930
it would've been nice,
even just to remain friends.

650
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:27,000
By the way,

651
00:35:27,510 --> 00:35:28,930
news came from the capital.

652
00:35:28,930 --> 00:35:29,710
The little Emperor has ordered

653
00:35:29,710 --> 00:35:30,920
a thorough investigation into your case.

654
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,360
Many of the officials involved

655
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,920
have been dismissed and imprisoned.

656
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:34,580
He also said

657
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,400
Xin Mei was acting
under the court's orders,

658
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,630
and the immortal sect
no longer needs to interfere.

659
00:35:39,630 --> 00:35:40,230
Looks like

660
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,660
he's going to clear your name.

661
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:45,410
Let's go.

662
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:49,630
Wait for me.

663
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:08,190
Officer,

664
00:36:08,670 --> 00:36:11,000
your sword is completely rusted through.

665
00:36:11,230 --> 00:36:12,830
It can't be sharpened at all.

666
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:13,630
Nonsense!

667
00:36:14,150 --> 00:36:15,410
This is a divine sword!

668
00:36:15,550 --> 00:36:17,510
It came to me
through a rare stroke of fortune.

669
00:36:17,510 --> 00:36:19,190
This sword, drawing on
the spiritual energy of heaven and earth,

670
00:36:19,190 --> 00:36:20,760
can slay gods and demons,
feed on their blood,

671
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,420
and split mountains and seas.

672
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:24,710
It simply hasn't been used in a long time—

673
00:36:24,710 --> 00:36:26,070
it's been resting
and has gathered a bit of rust.

674
00:36:26,070 --> 00:36:27,590
How can it not be sharpened?

675
00:36:27,590 --> 00:36:28,110
Well...

676
00:36:28,190 --> 00:36:29,400
You see it yourself.

677
00:36:29,670 --> 00:36:31,760
I've been sharpening it for four hours,

678
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,160
and it's still like this.

679
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:34,280
That only means

680
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,230
you haven't sharpened it long enough.

681
00:36:36,230 --> 00:36:36,760
Besides,

682
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,630
you were the one who boasted

683
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:39,670
that you could

684
00:36:39,670 --> 00:36:40,730
sharpen any blade.

685
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,680
T-Then you'll have to pay extra.

686
00:36:50,710 --> 00:36:51,640
Unfortunately,

687
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:52,880
those last two copper coins

688
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,550
you just pocketed were my very last ones.

689
00:36:54,550 --> 00:36:55,070
You...

690
00:36:59,630 --> 00:37:01,510
You even dare to trick
a government official?

691
00:37:01,510 --> 00:37:02,320
At worst, you can

692
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:03,250
throw me in jail.

693
00:37:03,710 --> 00:37:05,440
I only charged you two coppers.

694
00:37:05,710 --> 00:37:07,170
That's worth a day at most.

695
00:37:08,590 --> 00:37:09,280
You...

696
00:37:25,630 --> 00:37:26,690
Are you calling me?

697
00:37:27,230 --> 00:37:28,070
Who else?

698
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:31,400
You see your savior standing right here

699
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:32,800
and don't even say hello?

700
00:37:34,070 --> 00:37:35,270
Do we know each other?

701
00:37:36,150 --> 00:37:37,410
You really are something.

702
00:37:37,410 --> 00:37:38,400
If it weren't for me last time,

703
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,000
would you even still be alive?

704
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:40,760
Last time?

705
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:43,360
I was the one

706
00:37:43,550 --> 00:37:44,880
who, with one strike...

707
00:37:45,070 --> 00:37:46,400
killed that centipede demon

708
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:47,480
and saved your life.

709
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:48,140
You forgot?

710
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,320
What kind of look is that?

711
00:37:56,070 --> 00:37:56,800
Don't go!

712
00:38:02,230 --> 00:38:02,890
Pinwheels!

713
00:38:02,930 --> 00:38:04,510
Get your pinwheels!

714
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:15,440
Wait for me!

715
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:16,960
What are you doing?

716
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,220
What's wrong with you?

717
00:38:25,110 --> 00:38:26,230
Don't drink the water.

718
00:38:26,230 --> 00:38:27,150
Don't drink the water.

719
00:38:27,150 --> 00:38:28,410
Don't drink the water.

720
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:29,920
There's poison in the water.

721
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,030
Don't drink the water.

722
00:38:31,030 --> 00:38:32,110
There's poison in the water.

723
00:38:32,110 --> 00:38:33,030
Don't drink the water!

724
00:38:33,030 --> 00:38:34,280
There's poison in the water.

725
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,280
There's poison in the water!

726
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:36,710
Don't... Don't drink the water!

727
00:38:36,710 --> 00:38:38,070
There's poison in the water!

728
00:38:38,070 --> 00:38:39,280
Why is this guy acting so weird?

729
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:40,400
The water is poisoned?

730
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:41,480
It can't really be poisoned, can it?

731
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:42,840
We should stay away from people like him.

732
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:43,710
Look, he fainted.
